After running ComboFix, laptop not seeing any wireless networks
I just ran ComboFix on this laptop (which was infected with viruses and spyware but I removed most of them and it was able to get online), and after it rebooted and ran ComboFix again, it could no longer see the wireless networks in the area. It said to check and make sure the switch for the wireless adpater is on when I tried to repair it, which of course it is.
Also, the tab in Wireless Network Connection Properties is no longer there.
I've attached the ComboFix log.
I'm guessing ComboFix deleted something it shouldn't have.
I tried restarting the Wireless Zero Configuration service, as it was already running, to see if that would bring back the tab, but it didn't.
This might have been using a third party app to manage the wireless networks, and in that case, they usually disable the WZC service. And maybe ComboFix deleted that program, so now it is left disabled? I would think you would just be able to go in and re-enable it like I just tried to do.
